Apply drywall compound to a putty knife and wipe it back and forth over the hole. Stop when the hole is completely filled with putty.  Using an “x” motion when you apply the putty will help get a smooth and even surface. If the hole is larger than 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm), cover it first with self-adhesive drywall mesh tape, which you can buy at a hardware store. Apply the compound over this tape. Once the hole is completely full, smooth out the putty. Wipe off excess putty until it is flush with the wall. Follow the direction on the package. Typically, you will need to let the putty to sit overnight. Use medium-grade sandpaper to lightly sand the hole, removing excess putty. Stop when the surface is smooth. Wipe up the dust after you finish. Use light, feathery strokes so that the paint blends in well with the rest of the wall. To mask the area where the anchor had been, apply wall paper of the same shade as the rest of the wall. Allow it to dry overnight.

TL;DR in English: Apply drywall compound with a plastic putty knife. Wipe off the excess drywall compound with the putty knife. Allow the drywall putty to dry. Sand the surface of the putty. Apply  paint to the hole.

The library is a great place to help students develop an interest in reading and learning. Allow them several trips to the library every week so that they can pick out their books, return old books, and just spend some time reading. Let students have class time to just sit and read their books. You can decide if they have to read books just from the library or if they can bring books from home to read during this time. But the most important thing is to get students interested in reading and to give them time to do it in class. This will show them that reading is an important skill and will help them to develop stronger reading abilities over time. Reading a book as a class can be a fun experience that everyone looks forward to each day. The students can discuss the book with each other since they are all reading the same book at the same time. This will also help improve their listening comprehension skills because they are practicing listening to something that is fun and doesn't feel like work to them, but will still build these listening skills so they can apply it to their schoolwork. Studies have shown that children learn to read and write by reading and writing. So it is essential to give them time to practice these crucial skills in class and encourage them to reinforce these skills with homework and reading assignments.

When you are first diagnosed with typhoid fever, your doctor will figure out how far along the disease has progressed. If the disease is diagnosed in its early stages, the common treatment is with antibiotics. He will prescribe your antibiotics, which you will take for one to two weeks. Some strains of the bacteria that cause typhoid fever have become very resistant to some antibiotics. This means that your doctor will do thorough laboratory tests to come up with the best treatment plan for the particular strain you have.  The type of antibiotic you are prescribed will vary depending on where you contracted the strain and if you have had it before. The most common antibiotics prescribed include Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin or azithromycin. You may also be prescribed Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone. These medications are typically prescribes for 10 to 14 days. While symptoms may clear up within a matter of days, it is of the utmost importance that you finish your antibiotic treatment. If you do not take your antibiotics for the prescribed amount of time, you run a serious risk of having the disease return or passing it to others. Once you have finished your antibiotics, see your doctor again for a follow-up test to make sure that you have gotten rid of the infection. In severe cases, you will need immediate hospital admission. The aggressive symptoms you should look for that point to a severe case of typhoid fever are a swollen stomach, severe diarrhea, a fever of 104 degrees or higher, or persistent vomiting. When in the hospital, you will likely be given the same or similar antibiotic treatment, but it will be administered in injectable form while you are in the hospital.  You should see a doctor immediately if you experience any of these intense symptoms. Fluids and nutrients will also be administered to you through an intravenous drip. Most people greatly improve 3-5 days after being admitted to the hospital. However, you may have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks to recover if your case of...

TL;DR in English: Take antibiotics. Take your medications for the prescribed length of time. Get treated in the hospital. Have surgery if necessary.

Shake the can vigorously first, then open it and pour the contents into a blender; you can also use a food processor instead. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape out any leftover coconut cream and add it to the blender. Don't blend it just yet, and don't worry about being too precise. Mixing the cocoa powder into the coconut milk first will simply prevent the cocoa powder from flying out everywhere when you turn the blender on. Add in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt. If you are vegan, you can use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey. If the mixture is too sweet, add a pinch of salt. If it is not sweet enough, add a little bit more of your honey, avage nectar, or maple syrup. Be sure to blend after each addition. Follow the manufacturer's directions, as each ice cream maker will be a little different. If you don't have an ice cream maker, follow the steps below:  Chill the mixture in a bowl over an ice bath. This will keep ice crystals from forming. Pour the ice cream into a shallow, freezer-safe container, preferably metal. Place the ice cream into the freezer. Stir the ice cream with a whisk or spatula every 30 minutes until it is frozen, about 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to pull the ice cream away from the edges of the container and to break up any ice crystals. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop out, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Store any leftovers in the freezer, and eat it within 1 to 2 weeks.

Most birds will need about a week to get used to their new space. Keep their environment quiet during this time, and ensure that you and everyone else in your family give the birds the time and space they need during this adjustment period. Keep pets away from the cage or aviary to avoid traumatizing your new birds. It may be a good idea to keep young children away from your new pigeons during the first week or so. Children may not fully understand why they have be quiet or calm around the birds, and this may cause the birds to think they're predators. As your pigeons get used to you and their new home, it's important that they don't become scared of you. Keep your hands behind your back whenever you approach the cage, and avoid sudden movements. Speak, sing, or coo softly to the birds to comfort them and make them familiar with the sound of your voice. As your birds begin to become more comfortable with your presence, spend more time with them. If your birds are still hiding or cowering when you're near their enclosure, give them more time. If not, study or read next to their cage or aviary for a few hours each day. Reach through the bars or wire mesh of the birds' cage or aviary to provide treats. At first, simply place the treats on the ground. This will let the birds know that you're a source of food and care. Slowly, the birds should begin to take treats directly from your hands. Stay outside of their enclosure the first few times you do this. The security of the cage or aviary will let the bird know they're safe. Once they've eaten out of your hands a few times, either open the cage door or let yourself into the aviary to feed them more directly. Once your indoor birds are responding to your presence and eating out of your hand, they're probably ready to be allowed out of their cage. Indoor birds need to spend time outside of their enclosure daily to keep their minds and bodies healthy, so start this process as soon as you feel the birds are ready.  If you're worried about getting pigeon poop in your...

TL;DR in English: Stay patient with new birds as they adjust to your home. Keep your movements and voice calm around your pigeons. Spend time near your birds' cage or aviary to introduce yourself. Feed your birds treats while they're in their enclosures. Let indoor birds explore your home once they're comfortable. Avoid free-flying any domesticated pigeons. Let your birds come to you.

When you’re playing a challenging piece, don’t just play it all the way through over and over and over again while continuously making errors. This is a waste of time. Instead, take a step back and identify and analyze the problem. Then, brainstorm solutions, experiment with them, and implement the best one. For example, if a note comes out flat each time you play it on your trumpet, first identify what you want it to sound like. Then, try to think about the different possible causes of the sour note. Slightly adjust your fingering and your mouth until you discover an adjustment that allows you to play the note properly. There are several free or inexpensive apps that act as timers, metronomes, tuners, and more. Consider using these when you’re on the go so that you don’t have to tote around extra tools and materials. Also, check out different lessons and tutorials on sites like Youtube that can help you solve any specific issues you’re having without paying for a lesson. It’s not always necessary to start at the beginning and play a piece through to the end over and over. If you’re having a problem with a couple measures in the middle of the piece, focus more on that section. This will save you a lot of time and allow you to make more progress. When you aren’t practicing and you have a couple minutes of down time, take out your music or pull it up on your phone and just carefully read through it a few times to familiarize yourself with it more. You can read through your music while you’re riding in the car to get to school or waiting in a long line at the post office. Add a physical component to your practicing that you don’t normally have to deal with. By making a challenging addition to practicing your instrument, you’ll make playing normally feel easier. For example, try to play your instrument while standing on one leg. Everyone has more energy at certain times of the day than at others. Pay attention to what time of day you seem to be the most awake, focused, energetic, and clear-headed. Try to practice...

TL;DR in English: Play smarter. Use technology to your advantage. Focus on your problem areas. Read through the music without your instrument. Make tasks harder by physically challenging yourself. Practice at productive times of day. Practice only for as long as you can focus.

Cranberries are a well-known treatment for UTIs that make it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cranberries both make urine more acidic and introduce a chemical from a class called proanthocyanidins, that makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the bladder and urethra's cells. Although many people use cranberries it to treat UTIs, studies suggest that cranberries are better for prevention than treatment.  Drink 300–600 millilitres (1.3–2.5  c) of cranberry juice daily. The study in question studied Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice cocktail, specifically.  Take cranberry capsules (400 mg twice per day) if you don't like the juice. Lingonberry is a berry in the same family as cranberry. One study suggests that drinking cranberry-lingonberry concentrate reduces the risk of UTIs in women and girls. The subjects in this study drank 7.5 g of cranberry and 1.7 g of lingonberry concentrates mixed in 50 millilitres (0.21  c) of water daily. Uva Ursi (Bearberry) might not be available in your grocery store, but you can find it easily and cheaply online. Though uncommon in general American usage, Native American and European medicine have used it for centuries. Take 250-500 mg of powdered bearberry 3 times per day.  This might give your urine a greenish-brown tint, but this is not harmful. Bearberry acts as a diuretic (rids the body of salt and water), so ask your doctor about using it if you're on other medications. In theory, brewer's yeast “crowds out” the bacteria that cause UTIs, but as of now, there are no reliable clinical trials proving it can treat a UTI. Furthermore, brewer's yeast can interact badly with certain types of medications, so talk to your doctor before considering brewer's yeast. Despite the lack of scientific studies, many people take 3g of brewer's yeast twice per day to treat a UTI.  Consult a doctor before taking brewer's yeast if you're on other medications. It should NOT be taken with a class of medications called MAOIs.  MAOIs include the drugs: Selegiline, Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Rasagiline,...

An external hard drive can be purchased and connected with a USB cable, eliminating the need to open the computer case.  Connect the external drive using a USB connector cable, typically included with the drive at the time of purchase. The computer can then be configured to boot to the external drive, instead of the internal drive installed on a pre-assembled system. Install the preferred operating system on the external drive once it has been connected. Follow the instructions included in this article for accessing the BIOS feature and installing the preferred operating system. The operating system installed on a pre-assembled system can be erased and replaced with the preferred operating system.  Change the BIOS settings to boot to CD. Restart the computer and open the BIOS configuration interface by repeatedly pressing the assigned hot-key. The assigned hot-key will vary by BIOS manufacturer, but is typically listed on the bottom of the screen just after the computer is turned on. In most cases the hot-key for opening the system BIOS will be the Delete key, the F1 key, the F2 key, F11 or the F12 key. Insert the operating system disk or USB into the optical drive. Once the BIOS has been set to boot to the CD, or optical drive, insert the operating system CD and follow the instructions as prompted to format the hard drive and install the new operating system.

What you eat can affect symptoms of MS, such as inflammation or pain. A paleolithic diet heavy in fruits and vegetables can help you feel better in the long run.  Aim to eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like peppers or oranges. Green vegetables, like spinach or kale, are also good. Vegetables high in sulfur, such as broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, may also help reduce symptoms. You can eat about 4 oz (110 g) of lean meat a day, like chicken or fish. Reduce or eliminate how much dairy, eggs, and wheat you eat. People with MS are more likely to experience the hug if their bodies are fatigued of if they’re very tired. In either case—especially if you’re performing physical work—sit down and rest. If possible, sleep or take a short nap.  The hug symptoms should decrease. If you lead a stressful life, you may need to find a way to cut back on stress in general in order to decrease the MS hug symptoms. Stress may affect the severity or frequency of your symptoms. If you start feeling constricted or overwhelmed, take a break. Do some light stretching, or pause to meditate.  Go get a massage. A massage may be effective in helping your symptoms. If there's something that usually helps you relax, such as music or a bath, try doing it to see if it helps with your symptoms. The MS hug is more likely to occur if you’re overheated, whether from being out in the sun or from exercising or doing physical labor. Whatever the cause, find a way to cool down. If you’re in the sun, move into the shade or go indoors. If you’re exercising, stop and take a break in a cool room. If you live in at hot climate, you may need to adjust your schedule so that you spend more time outdoors in the early morning and late evening, before the day reaches its full heat. Many MS patients find that wearing a tight shirt or jacket, or knotting a scarf around the abdomen (or wherever MS hug symptoms are felt) can decrease the pain. Tight clothing around the abdomen can fool the brain into thinking that the pain from the MS hug is in fact...

Understand the purpose of renovation pruning. Wait until the dormant season. Remove any suckers. Trim up to one-third of the stems.

If you don't have time or don't want to spend time exercising regularly, try increasing your daily lifestyle activities.  These are exercises you already do and increasing them can help you burn more calories throughout the day.  Think about your day and see if you can find additional ways to add in more steps or to move more.  A little planning can help you find a few ways to add in activity or find an extra few minutes to be active. Try adding in activity like:  taking the stairs over the elevator, parking far away from your destination and standing or walk in place during TV commercials. Make a rule to walk to your destinations if they are under 1 mile (if safe and appropriate for you).  Skip taking the bus or driving. Going to the gym, doing high intensity aerobic classes or spending money on expensive equipment isn't possible or comfortable for everyone.  Walking is an activity that most healthy people can do that can help burn calories and increase your cardiovascular fitness.  If you walk 30 minutes on five days of the week, you'll be meeting the minimum guidelines for physical activity (150 minutes per week).  If you don't have time for a full 30 mins, try breaking up your walk into three 10 minute increments. You don't have to spend hours in the gym or purchase expensive equipment to include strength training.  Even light weight resistance training can help increase muscle mass and muscle tone.  Again, you can break up your strength training routine into 10 minute increments if it fits better into your schedule. Try including exercises that are easy to do at home and require no extra equipment.  Exercises can include:  sit ups, push ups, tricep dips, lunges or side leg lifts. Sometimes people think exercise just means running on a treadmill, but there are tons of ways to get exercise, inside and outside the gym. Try a new machine at the gym, or go for a long bike ride or a challenging hike. Try jumping rope or playing hopscotch with your kids or younger siblings.   Put on some upbeat music and dance...

TL;DR in English: Add in more lifestyle activity. Go for a 30 minute walk. Add in 20 minutes of strength training. Think outside the box.

Sports and games are often played on a field or a board. Devote time to determining where your game will be played.   Will you repurpose an existing sports field, like a baseball diamond, or game board? Will you create an entirely new space or board for your game? What are the dimensions? Are there lines and boundaries? What images and designs appear on your board? How does the space function within the context of the game? Sports and games are played by one or more players. How many players may participate in your sport or game? Occasionally, players will have different roles. List the roles players may choose between. Describe the responsibilities, advantages, and disadvantages that accompanies each role. Sports and games are often played with a variety of equipment and or pieces. Make a list of the equipment and pieces required to play your sport or game.  Can you repurpose existing sporting equipment and game pieces or do you need to design your own? Does the game require uniforms?  Do different players need different pieces of equipment or accessories?

TL;DR in English: Create the game’s field or board. Determine the number of players and develop the players’ roles. Design the equipment or additional pieces.

Rosa rugosa shrubs often remain tidy without much interference, but if the roses start looking messy or overgrown, you will need to use renovation pruning to clean the plant up.  Note that renovation pruning can cause a slight loss of flower production the following year, but it is still beneficial to your plant overall. Rose shrubs that are too overgrown essentially over-extend themselves and their resources. It may take a few years for the stress to show, but once it does, your plant will be much weaker and may have a hard time surviving. For the first two or three seasons, you should actually avoid renovation pruning. Doing so can allows the plant to establish itself more securely. Once the plant establishes itself, consider waiting every other year to do an overhaul on it. Renovation pruning can be performed once every year, but if new growth on the plant is not vigorous enough or if the plant grows weak, you may need to skip every other year. As with essential yearly pruning, you should wait until the plant enters its dormant stage before pruning it down. Waiting until the last frost passes in early spring is often the best option, but you should be able to prune the shrub at any point between late fall and early spring. Suckers refer to stems that grow from the rootstock of the plant instead of the main stem. Cut these suckers off at the ground level.  Aside from looking messy, the main problem with suckers is that they tend to grow too well and will deprive your main rosa rugosa shrub of the nutrients it needs. As a result, your main shrub will weaken and eventually die. Cutting suckers off at the ground will usually be enough, but if you want to be more thorough, dig down to the root from which the sucker originates and tear or cut it off at its point of origin. Starting with the oldest stems, cut down between one-quarter and one-third of the stems on the plant. These stems should be trimmed down to ground level.  In this instance, "ground level" refers to any height between the ground and 1.5 inches...

Make sure to store your kerosene in a safe container labeled for kerosene or flammable liquid. Store your kerosene in a safe place. Keep kerosene for one to three months. Don't throw your kerosene away – no matter how old it is.

There are three types of fountain pens on the market today: cartridge, converter, and piston. The different types refer to the different ink delivery methods, and the method will determine how you refill your pen when the ink runs out.  Cartridge pens are the most common today, and they are the easiest to refill. To write with this type of pen, you simply purchase pre-filled ink cartridges, so when one runs out, all you do is replace the cartridge. Converter cartridges are reusable cartridges that get inserted into a cartridge pen. These are great for people who don’t mind refilling the ink and don’t want to throw away a cartridge every time the ink runs out. Piston pens are similar to converter cartridges, but the pen comes with its own built-in refilling system, so you don’t have to replace the reusable cartridge with a separately purchased converter. Remove the cap from the nib, and, if necessary, the cap off the back of the pen that covers the end knob. Twist the knob (most likely in a counter-clockwise direction) to extend the piston toward the front of the pen. When that’s done:  Dip the entire nib into an ink jar, making sure to cover the hole on the back of the nib. Turn the piston knob in a clockwise direction to draw ink into the chamber. When the chamber is full, pull the pen out of the ink. Turn the piston in a counter-clockwise direction again and let a few drops of ink back into the bottle. This will help remove air bubbles. Clean the nib with a cloth to remove any excess ink. Converters work in one of two ways, either with a piston mechanism or an air-bladder mechanism (also called squeeze converters). To refill an air-bladder pen, dip the nib into the ink bottle and:   Slowly press the converter at the back of the pen, and wait for air bubbles to appear in the ink. Slowly release the converter and wait for the ink to be drawn into the chamber. Repeat until the chamber is full.

TL;DR in English: Determine what kind of fountain pen you have. Refill ink in a piston pen. Refill the ink in a converter cartridge.

Wash the pitcher in the sink with hot soapy water. Plastic Brita pitchers are not made to withstand excessively hot water, so never clean your Brita filter by putting it in the dishwasher. If you do, your pitcher is likely to melt and warp, making it useless. When you wash the pitcher, use a basic dishwashing soap that is non-abrasive. Any type of liquid dish soap with mild cleaning ingredients works fine. Use a soft cloth or sponge as opposed to steel wool or any other harsh scrubbers. Dawn, Palmolive, and Joy are examples of mild dish soaps which are good to use. After you have washed the pitcher, rinse it thoroughly. To let the pitcher dry, set it upside down in a drying rack or on a clean towel on your counter or table. Drying the pitcher with a towel may leave small fibers which will get into your water. If you are in a hurry, dry the pitcher with a paper towel to avoid leaving cloth fibers.

TL;DR in English: Wash the pitcher by hand. Use a mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse the pitcher and dry it upside down.

Kerosene containers must also be provided with an approved label, as required by federal and state authorities. Storing kerosene in anything other than an approved container is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Since kerosene is a flammable liquid, it should be stored at room temperature and away from potential heat sources like the sun, hot water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, or ignition sources. This safety precaution will help keep you and your family safe in case of a spill. Storing kerosene for longer than three months can be dangerous, as the old fuel can break down and cause the growth of bacteria or mold. Ideally, you should buy high-quality kerosene in small quantities and store it in its original certified container. If you change the container of the kerosene, it might get mistaken for another substance – which could be dangerous. If you have kerosene left over after a few months, it's best for you to properly dispose of it. If you throw kerosene away, it will end up in landfills or incinerators, or may even be dumped into rivers. When kerosene is disposed improperly, it can poison the air, soil, water, wild animals, and even people and their pets.

Check if he seems nervous around you. See if he tries to join your conversations. Watch to see if he tries to talk to your friends. Look for compliments in his conversation. Ask him if he likes you.

Natural oils such as neem and flaxseed make excellent base for ointments. Experiment with different combinations of herbs and oils.  Neem oil is an astringent that helps protect your skin. It is commonly used in Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medicine to treat lipomas.  Flaxseed oil has high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation. Be sure to buy flaxseed oil certified to be free of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. Blend 1 teaspoon of chickweed to 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Apply the salve to the lipoma.  Chickweed is used to reduce fats.  You can also use 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste. Put 1 teaspoon of turmeric together with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Smooth the ointment onto the lipoma. Your skin will turn a bit orange or yellow because of the turmeric. Cover the lipoma with a bandage to protect your clothes.  Turmeric, like neem oil, is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine. For a paste, add 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to the turmeric. Mix ½ to 1 teaspoon of dried sage with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Coat the lipoma with the balm.  Substitute 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea for neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste. Sage is used in traditional Chinese medicine to dissolve fatty tissue.

A guy who laughs, stutters, makes weird jokes, or avoids eye contact when you talk is probably nervous around you. A lot of middle school boys are really nervous around girls they like, so this is a good sign! Do you ever find him butting into your conversations with a friend? This could mean he is trying to spark a conversation with you and wants to talk. Let him! Joke around a bit to let him know you accept him. Is he coming up often and talking to your friends but not necessarily you? He may be working his way around to you, and using your friends as the excuse to be nearby. It can be hard to tell if he likes you or just likes your friend. If he talks to the same friend every time, he probably likes them. But if he talks to a different friend every time, he might like you! People usually don’t say nice things about people they don’t like. If he’s giving you compliments when he doesn’t have to, he is probably interested in you!For example, things like "I really liked your presentation" or "That jacket looks nice on you" might indicate that he likes you. This takes some courage, but if you’re already talking to him and he’s showing a lot of signs of liking you, it’s okay to just ask! He might get embarrassed, but if he really likes you, he’ll say so.  You can just say “I like you a lot. Do you like me?” It’s best to tell him you like him too first, otherwise, he might think you’re making fun of him. If he avoids answering or even says no, just play it off as a joke. You can say “Just kidding!” and change the subject.

Good moral character generally means that you don’t break the law and you meet all of your legal obligations, such as paying taxes and making child support payments. If you have a criminal conviction, consult with an immigration attorney. Members of the military must show that they can read, write, and speak English. They also must show knowledge of U.S. government and history, called civics. You’ll have to pass exams in both English and civics. You can find information about the exams online. If you served in peacetime, you can apply for naturalization if you meet the following requirements:  Serve honorably for at least one year. Obtain a green card. File an application while still in service or within six months of separation. The requirements are different if you are serving during a period of hostilities. The U.S. has currently been in such a period since 2002, and it will last until the President designates that it is over. In this situation, all members of the military can immediately apply to become naturalized. Every installation should have a person to contact. They will usually be in personnel or the Judge Advocate General’s Office. You will need to complete Form N-400 and Form N-426. Contact them and receive a packet of information. Your filing fee is waived.  USCIS has customer service specialists who can answer questions from military members and their families. Call 1-877-247-4645 Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Were you born in a state whose right to citizenship you have never exercised? If so, then you might be eligible for citizenship through an unrestricted right of soil, also known as unconditional jus soli. This means that you have an automatic birthright to be a citizen of that country because you were born there. For example, if you are currently a British citizen who was born in the United States, you are entitled to American citizenship through unrestricted jus soli.  Research the immigration laws of your country of birth. Most countries do not grant citizenship through right of soil, so it is important to research the laws of the country in which you were born.  30 of the world's 194 countries practice unconditional jus soli. Of these 30 countries, Canada and the United States (as of 2010) are the only countries among the world's advanced economies that practice unconditional jus soli and grant citizenship to most children born on its soil, including children born to persons present in the state illegally.  However, children born in the United States to foreign diplomats and foreign heads of state do not acquire citizenship through right of soil. You may find that your country of birth, which is not the country whose citizenship rights you exercise, grants you a right to its citizenship through a right of soil. If so, discover how you can exercise that right.  One way to exercise a right to citizenship is to apply for a passport. You can apply for a passport through the state's embassy or consulate in your current country of citizenship and/or residence. You may be asked to present an original or certified copy of your birth certificate to the consulate or embassy as evidence. For example, if you apply for a Canadian passport, then you can present a birth certificate issued by the Canadian province or territory in which you were born. This serves as evidence of your Canadian citizenship because Canada practices unrestricted jus soli. Find out the laws regarding dual citizenship of both the state of your...

It’s important to have range as a singer. Being able to perform lots of different songs, genres, and event types will help you to land more gigs.  Familiarize yourself with typical weddings, bar mitzvahs, or piano bar songs, for example. You should have at least 40 popular songs memorized and performance-ready for these types of events and venues. Turn these songs into a typed list. It will be helpful to have a list ready of all the songs and genres you're comfortable with. Use genre or event types (jazz, rock, wedding, bar mitzvah, etc.) to categorize your list. Include your preferred key along with the name of each song. While a formal education isn’t required for a successful singing career, taking some singing or music classes might help you build your skillset.  If you are interested in pursuing a college degree, consider majoring or minoring in music, voice, or another performance discipline. You can also pursue lessons outside of the schoolroom by getting private vocal coaches and teachers to help you learn the basics. Learn to “Sight Sing.” Many auditions and even gigs will require you to perform new songs after only briefly looking at the music and words. This may seem like an impossible task, but this type of sight-reading can actually be learned and practiced.   How to Sight Sing If there is a choir in your school, church, or community contact them and let them know you're interested joining. This won't be a paid experience, but you will earn some valuable experience! Having a polished portfolio of all your singing credentials will help you show prospective employers that you’ve got the chops for the gig.  In addition to your name and contact information, list your vocal range, singing styles, past gigs, previous training, and any extra qualifications (like if you can also play an instrument).  Include a professional 8-by-10 headshot. This will help prospective employers remember your face and show some of your personality. Make a quality demo tape. This is perhaps the most important part of a...

Chances are that you have played it and the quality is questionable enough for you to be reading this article to make sure. Some additional questions to ask are:  Can you see through the DVD? If you can see through it very well, it is most likely not authentic, though this is not always the case.     Is it colorful (blue, gold, purple, etc.; instead of silver)? If it is any of the colors listed above, it is most likely not a mass-produced DVD.     Hold the DVD up to the light and tilt it to one side. You may be able to see a well-known manufacturer’s name, such as Maxell. If the disc has such a name, then the DVD was a burnable disc, and the disc’s contents are counterfeit.     Check the cover. Real movies have high-quality manufacturer photos, and often fake ones have blurry, lack of color, and less detail type covers. This will tell you that the cover probably was taken with a camera. If the movie is without security labels, the movie may be a counterfeit. In Windows, click on My Computer, then click your player’s drive. It will give you the size of the disc. There should be close to 5 GB used on a single layer or more on a double layer (but this varies depending on running time). Then go through Windows Explorer and right click on various files stored on the DVD to check properties. Look for the creation date. If the DVD is out of print, for example, and the date is recent, something is not right. However, this will probably not work with Disney imported DVD’s with copy protection and results may be misleading.

TL;DR in English: Examine the actual DVD if you have already bought it. Put the DVD into your DVD drive. If the spine of the DVD is very thin, and the case is opaque, it is probably fake.

After buying basic precious metals, gold or silver futures, funds like ETFs and ETNs, mining stock or any other metals-based asset, tracking these investments is important.   Track with software tools that analyze changes in the value of your investments. Periodically check on your long-term holdings within your online brokerage account or with the help of your broker. As your holdings grow, you may want to consider hiring a financial manager to oversee your investments and make adjustments in response to market conditions. There are several ways to profit when your investments increase in value.  Long-term strategies can include holding on to your gold, silver or other metals for a very long time. This is often done in hopes that prices will spiral up into the stratosphere, creating vast wealth. Short-term strategies include options for those who want to benefit regularly from increases in equity values. This would involve shorter periods in which holdings that have appreciated are sold (perhaps on a yearly basis), producing more consistent and modest earnings. Based on your newly acquired experience at investing in precious metals, use a portion of your gains to reinvest in rising metals.  Drawing on past observations of market behavior and investment performance should guide you in deciding where to invest in the future.

TL;DR in English: Track your investments. Decide on a profit-taking method. Reinvest in new opportunities.

Before determining how much RAM you should purchase, it will be helpful to know how much RAM you already have installed in your computer. You can quickly check your installed RAM, regardless of what operating system you are using.  Windows - Press ⊞ Win+Pause to open your System Properties window. Your installed RAM will be listed in the System section. Mac - Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Your installed RAM will be displayed in the Memory entry. There are several factors that will dictate how much RAM your system can support, including your operating system and motherboard limits:  If you are using Windows, a 32-bit version can support up to 4 GB, while a 64-bit version can support up to 128 GB. You can check what version of Windows you have by pressing ⊞ Win+Pause and looking for the "System type" entry. Even if your computer supports up to 128 GB, there's a good chance that your motherboard doesn't support that much. You'll need to check the documentation for your motherboard or run an online system scanner (Crucial.com has a good one) to see how much memory your motherboard supports. Mac users will need to check their documentation to see how much their computer support as it varies significantly from model to model. If you don't have the documentation anymore, you can look up the specs of your model on the Apple support site. See this guide for more details on determining the maximum amount of RAM your computer supports. RAM has gone through several revisions over the years. The standard these days is DDR4 RAM, but if you are upgrading an older computer, you may need DDR3, DDR2 or even DDR. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider upgrading the entire computer, as older types of RAM are getting increasingly expensive. You can determine what type your computer uses by referring to the documentation or running a tool like CPU-Z, a freeware utility that analyzes your system. RAM comes in a variety of different speeds. If there are multiple speeds installed, your entire system...

Your glove becomes an extension of your hand when catching a baseball. It must fit your hand properly to work efficiently. As a general rule of thumb, players under the age of 12 will use a glove in the 10–11 inch (25.4–27.9 cm) range.  Older players will use something between 11 and 13 inch glove. Before playing regularly with your glove, it’s important to beak in your glove. One of the best ways to break in your glove is by practicing your catch. Catching a baseball relies heavily on your stance and body position. You should be in the athletic position to prepare catching a ball. The athletic position takes the following into effect:  Bend your knees slightly. This will give you the flexibility to lung for the ball and keep your mind focused. Keep your shoulders positioned towards the target. This will make it easier to visualize and react once the ball comes towards you. Stand on the balls of your feet instead of standing flat-footed. The key to catching a baseball is to never let the ball out of your sight. Keep your eyes fixed from the time the ball leaves the thrower's hand until it lands in your glove. By watching the ball, you can track the ball’s flight plan, and prepare for the right stance to catch the ball. ”You can’t catch what you can’t see,” meaning it'll be difficult to catch the ball if your eye is off the ball. Don’t feel inclined to stay anchored in one place, but instead move to catch the ball. If the ball is thrown and you can tell it will land behind you, run backwards while watching the ball. In baseball, catchers play by zone defense. When the ball enters your zone, it’s your job to move to it. Hold your glove with your palm facing outwards in front of your body. Position the glove in the direction of the target who is throwing the ball. If the ball is thrown above your belly button, you can use this stance to catch the ball with little adjustment.  If the throw is below your belly button, rotate your glove so that your fingers are pointed down. When the ball is thrown above your body,...

TL;DR in English: Get the right glove. Position your body. Watch the ball. Go to the ball. Position your glove. Catch the baseball. Keep your vision clear.

Whether you're into basketball, cheerleading, French club, or band, joining a few extracurricular activities can help you become more popular simply because you'll get to know a wider variety of people. If you only get to know the people in your classes, you'll be missing out on a wide variety of amazing people from your school. You'll also find it easier to connect with people who share your interests, so you'll be more likely to make friends.  Remember that, to be popular, people have to actually know who you are — what better way is there to get your name out there than to get involved in extracurricular activities? Finding the right extracurricular activity for you can also help you find a new passion, explore new hobbies, and maybe even to get inspired to follow a new career path. Though it's important to be a good student, you should still be able to find time to relax and make a few friends in your classes. Whether you're chatting it up with your lab partner or the person who sits behind you in Algebra II, you should make an effort to get to know the people in your classes —without disrupting your learning, of course!  You may end up finding a new best friend after working on a school project or putting together a lab report with a new classmate. Don't think that you can only find friends after school hours. People in your classes may also be excited to meet new people, because people don't always end up in class with people they already know since class assignments are random. If you have a lunch period and don't have any friends during the same period, try sitting with a new group of people, that way, you can make new friends and get to know them better. Another way to be involved is to do something in your community. Whether you're volunteering at a soup kitchen or playing softball in a rec league, doing something that is community-based will help you get to know more people and to become experienced with talking to a wider variety of people. You may also meet some people from school who are doing...

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

Don’t worry, the procedure is generally the same whether your dryer is electric or gas, but both need to be shut off before cleaning. Consult the user manual for your appliance if you have any concerns. The lint vent is located on the back of most dryers, either near the top or the bottom of the appliance. You are looking for either flexible aluminum tubing or piping. This is so that you can access the vent. Be sure to work carefully around the tubing as you do so. To do this, use a screwdriver to loosen the metal clamp that holds it in place. Set the vent aside on the floor for now. Do this gently, taking care not to tear a hole in it. Set the tubing carefully aside for now. Use a vent brush, turning the brush clockwise for the best effect. You can also turn it counter-clockwise, just make sure to stick with one direction or the other, not a combination. Pick it up gently and hold it up in front of you. Brush into the tubes with your vent brush. At this point you and your floor are most likely covered in lint! Use the long neck attachment to remove any remaining lint. Vacuum carefully so that nothing gets damaged. Use the long neck attachment, taking care to get all of the lint up. Work it into the nooks and crannies. Don’t forget to tighten the screws on the clamp to fix it in place. Secure the tubing carefully. Be sure to continue working carefully around the tubing. It can be easily damaged, but should be absolutely fine as long as you are careful. When working with the power sources, be sure to work carefully around the tubing behind the appliance. This will flush out any remaining lint. Shut it off after the flush. Your dryer is now ready for use!

TL;DR in English: Shut off the gas (if applicable) and unplug the dryer. Locate the lint vent. Pull the dryer gently away from the wall. Remove the vent from the wall. Pull the tubing away. Clean the wall piping and vent. Clean the removed tubing. Vacuum inside the tubing and vent. Vacuum the floor. Put the dryer vent back into place. Replace the dryer back against the wall. Plug the dryer back in and, if applicable, turn the gas back on. Turn on your dryer for about 10-15 seconds.

You can find this salt in pharmacies. It is often added to bathes to soothe aching muscles. Although it contains the word "salt," this product is not edible. Thanks to its pure-white color, however, the food coloring will show up much better compared to real sand.  Regular table salt will also work for this method. If you want to make edible colored sand, use white, granulated sugar instead. How long this takes depends on how dry or humid it is in your home. For most people, this will take overnight. You can speed up the drying process by spreading the salt out on a baking sheet or tray. Make sure that you use a separate sheet/tray for each color, however.

TL;DR in English:


Get lots of rest at home. Drink liquids and eat soft foods to soothe pain and discomfort. Mix 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of salt into an 8 ounce (236 mL) glass of warm water. Gargle the salty water, spit it out, and repeat as necessary to relieve the sore throat

Let your cover and notebook dry before you accessorize further.

If your area experiences a period of drought, water the soil lightly to help the tree survive. Add enough water to moisten the soil about 3 in (7.6 cm) deep.  You can test the soil by pushing your finger into it. If you can’t push down to the roots easily, the soil needs water. An irrigation system works well for greenhouse growing. Give the guanabana plenty of fertilizer every year to help it grow and produce fruit. You can add fertilizer a month after planting or around March. Apply a second dose in early September.  You can use a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer from your gardening center, which has equal parts phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Apply 1⁄4 lb (0.11 kg) of fertilizer in the first year, 1⁄2 lb (0.23 kg) in the second year, and 1 1⁄2 lb (0.68 kg) every year after that. Check the mulch layer before you add new fertilizer. Add a new layer of an organic material, such as compost or pine bark, in early spring. Then, you can finish tending to the tree by putting the fertilizer on top of the mulch. Replace the mulch every year to block out weeds and keep the surrounding soil moist. Wait for the guanabana’s trunk to become at least 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick. Using pruning shears, cut the branches down until the tree is about 30 in (76 cm) tall. Then, wait for new shoots to grow. Regular pruning helps your tree grow evenly so more water and sunlight reach the roots.  New shoots will grow on your tree. Select the tallest shoot to be the central leader, then select 3 or 4 shoots spaced around it to be main branches. Wear a thick pair of gardening gloves and safety goggles to protect your eyes. Trim the central leader to about ⅓ of its original size. New shoots will begin forming around the cut. Choose the tallest shoot again, then pin the other shoots down so they are horizontal.  You can pin down the secondary shoots with clothespins or twine. Also remove any diseased or decaying branches on your tree. Although guanabana trees do not attract a lot of pests, some bugs can be an issue. Mealybugs are common,...

TL;DR in English: Water the tree when the soil dries during a drought. Fertilize the tree in spring and fall. Renew the layer of mulch every year. Prune the tree down in the first year. Reduce the tree’s size in the second year to encourage growth. Use an insecticide to treat infestations.

People often take one to three days off of work or school, depending upon the severity of their infection. This can be followed by about one full "restful week," often going to work, but postponing social commitments, chores, and other events until you are feeling better. Speak as softly and as little as possible as you are recovering. You can create a soothing mixture to help relieve tonsillitis pain. Combine 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey, 1 teaspoon (2.6 g) of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar mixed in hot water and drink as needed. Water also helps to prevent dryness and additional irritation of the tonsils.  Hot teas, warm broth, and other warm liquids can be soothing on the throat. In addition to hot drinks, cold ice pops can also soothe throat discomfort. Mix 1 teaspoon (5.6 g) of salt into an 8 ounce (236 mL) glass of warm water. Gargle the salty water, spit it out, and repeat as necessary to relieve the sore throat caused by tonsillitis. It is important to minimize any irritants that can worsen tonsillitis, such as dry air, cleaning products, or cigarette smoke. Also, try using a cool-air humidifier that adds moisture to the room. Many lozenges contain topical anesthetic within them, which can help to diminish pain in your tonsillar area and throat. " Always consult your doctor prior to trying any of the following alternative remedies, to ensure they are safe for you in consideration of any other medical conditions you may have. There are not recommended for children and adolescents. Options to consider include:  Papain. This is an anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help to reduce inflammation of the tonsils. Serrapeptase. This is another anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help in tonsillitis. Slippery elm in lozenge form. This has been shown to aid in pain relief. Andrographis. This is aimed at treating symptoms of fever and sore throat.

There are endless options to create a funky and fun notebook cover. Choose your materials before you get started so you have a plan of attack. Select something to express yourself with!  You can use cardboard, construction paper, or old maps. You can find images on the Internet. Print out 1 image to cover the entire notebook, or use your computer to make a collage of photos. You can select fabric like canvas, denim, or old T-shirts. You could also paint a separate sheet on paper and glue it onto the cover. You can use duct tape and stick it onto the cover. Place your notebook on top of your material, whether it is another piece of paper or a piece of fabric. Mark the edges of your notebook onto your cover with a pencil or pen. This can be a rough size estimate, so you know where to make your cuts. You can cut out a cover for the front and a cover for the back separately, or cut out a size that would fit both the front and back cover in one piece. Be sure to lay your book open flat if you are covering both sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your cover, based on the lines you traced. Place your cover on top of your notebook to make sure the size is correct.  If the cover is too big, trim it down so it fits the size of your notebook. If it is too small, you can cut out another cover or improvise with other accessories, like ribbon or stickers. If you are using fabric, use fabric scissors for sharp, straight lines. You can use an adhesive like a glue stick, liquid glue, a hot glue gun, or Mod Podge. Put a thin, even layer of glue onto the back of the cover material. Make sure you coat the edges of your cover so the paper won't lift up later. Avoid applying too much glue on your cover. It will take a long time to dry and create a mess. Try to use thin, even layers. Start at the top of your notebook and line up the edge of your cover with the notebook's top edge. Then, line up the bottom corners as well. Use the side of your hand or your palm and press down on the front of your cover  to stick it to your...

Place your crabs in the freezer for several hours. The cold air will numb the crabs and cause them to move around much slower. This makes it easier to handle the crabs when killing them and may even dull their pain. Remember that once they're desensitized to pain, you should kill them immediately so they don't recover and feel pain again. If your crabs are larger, they'll take longer to freeze. You'll know your crab has frozen long enough when it's easy to handle or manipulate. The crabs shouldn't be moving their limbs at all or react when you touch near their mouthparts. Try tapping a crab's shell. If the crab's eyes don't react, then the crab is desensitized. You can quickly pierce the two nerve centers on a crab to immediately and painlessly kill the crab. Place your immobile crab on a non-slip mat so that it's on its back. Lift up the tail flap. You should see a hole that looks like a small dot. This is directly over a nerve center. Take a knife (or awl) and spike into this tiny hole at an angle of 85°. Do this again for the front nerve center.  The front nerve center is located in the shallow depression at the front of the crab. Insert this spike at an angle of 60°. The whole spiking process should take less than 10 seconds. You can then cook the crab according to any method you'd like. If you don't want to worry about cooking a very fresh crab or killing it yourself, buy frozen crab legs and claws. These are steamed before they're frozen so all you need to do is heat them back up. To thaw your frozen crab you can either:  Place the frozen crab in the fridge and let it thaw overnight Place the frozen crab in a container of cool water that's set in your sink or on the counter

TL;DR in English: Freeze your crabs. Check for signs of sensitivity. Spike the crab to kill it. Consider buying and thawing frozen crab.

You have the option of not giving a reason or excuse for saying no. Remember, it is your right to decline to do things, and you don't own anyone an explanation. You can simply respond, "no," but if you feel like adding more, you can still be respectful while keeping it simple.  You could say, “I'm sorry, that just won't work for me.” Another way to say no is simply, “No, I can't do that.” If someone asks if they can buy you a drink, feel free to just say, "No, thanks." If you say no immediately, it might seem like you didn't even consider the request. In order to be respectful, take a moment to think about your answer--even if you already know what it is going to be. Take a pause, and then kindly say no.  You could say, “Let me check my calendar. I believe I already have a commitment that weekend.” Try counting slowly to three before responding. This way, you'll seem to be considering the request. A respectful response is not one that sounds overly negative. When turning someone down, find a way to inject a positive attitude into your words. It also helps if you use a friendly tone of voice! For example, you could say, “Wow! A cookie exchange sounds like such a fun idea! I'm sorry that I won't be able to come. It sounds like I'll be missing a good time.” It's important not to sound rude. Don't say something like, “No, why would I want to do that?” Instead, be kind and gracious. Say things like, “That's so nice of you to think of me, but I'm really not interested in learning to snowshoe.” You can also say, “I'm afraid I can't dog sit for you. Your puppy is cute, but I don't think my cat would agree.” Make it clear that you genuinely appreciate being asked. If you have to turn someone down, express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place. You could say something like, “Thanks for considering me responsible enough to watch your kids. I'm sorry that I'm busy that evening.” You can also say, “I appreciate that you think I'd make a good team captain. However, I'm more comfortable not having a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your explanation simple. Think before you speak. Make a positive statement. Be gracious. Show gratitude. Give a clear answer. Offer encouragement.

If the chemicals still pose a danger to the burn victim, then make sure that you remove him or her from the area of exposure. For example, if the chemicals are giving off fumes or if the victim is in danger of getting splashed with more of the chemical, then remove the victim to another room or go outside.   Always take precautions to protect yourself when tending to someone who has received a chemical burn. For example, you may need to wear long sleeves, gloves, a mask, goggles, or other protective gear to prevent yourself from receiving a similar injury. If there are any dry chemicals left on the victim's skin, then brush these chemicals off before irrigating the area. If the victim has clothing, jewelry or other items on that are contaminated with chemicals and/or obstructing your access to the burn, then make sure that you remove these items before you being treatment. Leaving these items on may cause further damage. You will also need to be able to access the burn site to brush off any leftover dry chemicals and irrigate the area with water. If you receive a burn from a chemical, you should first dilute the chemical compound. This is the best thing you can do to treat a chemical burn right away. To do this, flush the burn and the surrounding areas of skin with copious amounts of water. The water should be cool. Let the water run over the burn for 10 minutes or more.  Don't use a high pressure stream of water to wash the skin. Too much water pressure can make the chemical burn worse by driving the chemical deeper into the skin. Just use light irrigation by holding the wound under a gentle stream of water and keep it there for a long time. Some chemical burns should not be treated with immediate irrigation. These include dry lime, elemental metals such as sodium, and phenol. This is because combining these chemicals with water causes a harmful exothermic (heat-producing) reaction and/or releases hazardous byproducts. For chemicals in the eyes, remove contact lenses and use an eyewash.  These are found in...

Place your peeled ginger root on a cutting board and cut the root into planks or slices that are about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) thick. Add these pieces of ginger root to your favorite soups, stews, or curries. For example, add the ginger to:  Indian spiced carrot soup  Sweet potato soup with miso Chicken pho Spicy vegan coconut soup Add flavor to delicate white fish by steaming it in the oven with fresh ginger. Combine planks or freshly grated ginger with any other seasonings you want to use and spread it over fish. Cover the pan and roast the fish in a hot oven at 475 °F (246 °C) until the fish is flaky and cooked. Ginger works well with tilapia, salmon, halibut, and cod. Slice the ginger root into thin planks. Stack the planks and cut them into thin strips. Stir a handful of ginger root strips into any stir fry meal. For example, ginger can add a spicy heat to Szechuan dishes, lo mein, or stir-fried broccoli. To make a subtle glaze, whisk together 3 tablespoons (63 g) of honey, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sherry vinegar, 1 tablespoon (3 g) of grated peeled fresh ginger, and 3/4 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper. Brush this glaze over root vegetables, fish, pork chops, or roasts. If the food you're cooking has a long cook time, consider brushing more glaze over the food during the last 15 minutes of cooking time. . Peel a 2 inches (5.1 cm) piece of fresh ginger and slice it into planks as thinly as you can. Slice these thin planks into thin slivers or strips and toss them with chopped root vegetables on a baking sheet. Roast the vegetables and ginger for up to 45 minutes in a 425 °F (218 °C) oven. Serve the roasted ginger and vegetables with steamed rice or a barley pilaf.

TL;DR in English: Use sliced ginger root in soups or curries. Steam ginger planks or grated ginger with fresh fish. Stir fry ginger strips with vegetables, noodles, and protein. Use grated ginger to make a glaze for vegetables, fish, or roasts. Roast planks or slices of ginger with root vegetables

The standard way to teach multiplication is memorization, which only some children are good at – and it's debatable if you can classify this as learning, anyway. Make it interactive as much as possible. Use fingers and toes, blocks, an abacus, whatever you have on hand. Make it fun, not something that's discouraging. Please do not shame kids by having them recite in front of the class – it will never improve their memory but it will turn them off math forever and create an unpleasant disparity among students. With this method, students will need to know how to skip-count, which is essentially the same as multiplication. For example, skip-counting by multiples of 4 goes as follows: 4, 8,12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. 3 x 4 = skip-count by 4 three times: 4, 8, 12. A harder example? 6 x 7 = skip-count by 7 six times: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42. The answer is 42. The best way to learn skip-counting is through the use of songs or other mnemonic devices. Skip-counting by multiples is also the primary method for multiplying single digits by remedial math systems such as Simple Math and Touch Math. Here's an idea: use a beach ball (or two). Take a permanent black marker and divide the ball in half horizontally. This will give you 12 sections. Using the same marker, number the sections from 0 through 11 randomly. Here's how the game is played:  You write a number 1 through 10 on the board (preferably the number you are working on in the classroom.) Any child in the room tosses the ball to another child. This child instantly calls out the number their right thumb is on. Both children compete in trying to be the first to say the answer, multiplying the number on the board by the number called out by the child who caught the ball. The winner continues the game by throwing the ball to another child. Have the child who throws the ball say the name of the child that they are tossing it to. This eliminates a mad scramble for many to rush to catch the ball. Pro tip? Let some air out of the ball. It is easier for third graders to...

TL;DR in English: Teach more than one way to learn. For kids who have trouble with learning multiplication, try skip counting. Turn it into a hands-on game. Change how you word the problem.

You’ll need to use the Snapchat app for iOS or Android to access Memories. After capturing a photo or video, you can add filters, text, or any other editing features you wish. It’s the downward-facing arrow at the bottom of the Snap. To save Snaps to Snapchat Memories without saving a copy to your phone, tap Memories. This is a good option for those without much space on their phone—as long as you have an internet connection, you can view your Memories. To save to both your phone and Snapchat Memories, tap Memories & Camera Roll. If you aren’t given a choice (you’ll only see it the first time you hit Save), the Snap saves to Snapchat Memories. To edit your preferences, see Changing How Memories are Saved. Now that you’ve saved a Memory, you can send your snap as normal. Or, if you prefer not to send it, just tap the X at the top left corner of the screen. If it’s your first time saving a Memory, you’ll only see one image listed. Otherwise, the most recent saved Memory appears at the top of the list.

Getting vitamin D requires you to spend some time (15 to 30 minutes) with a good amount of your skin in direct sunlight. Keeping vitamin D levels high can produce up to 20% more testosterone. Consider talking to a medical professional about vitamin D supplements if you work inside all day and cannot spend time in the sun. Moderate to mild zinc deficiencies have been shown to lower testosterone levels. Talk to a knowledgeable healthcare provider about a zinc supplement. Some studies have shown that certain herbal supplements may help to increase testosterone or combat the effects of low testosterone. Some of these herbal supplements include:  Tribulus terrestris, which has shown an increase in sexual activity in animal studies. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Withania somnifera (ashwaganda), which has been reported in preliminary clinical trials to increase sperm quality. Most studies have used up to 450 mg four times a day. Ginkgo biloba, which increases testosterone synthesis. Dosage was 270 mg of ginkgo extract 4 times a day. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Yohimbe, which has been used to increase sexual interest and treat erectile dysfunction. Doses vary but ranged from 5.4 mg (3 times a day) to 10.8 mg (3 times a day). Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

TL;DR in English: Get some sun. Take a zinc supplement. Consider herbal supplements.

This is where the footing, or foundation, of your column will be. It's important that you build the footing down into the ground as opposed to on the surface so that your column is stable. The depth and dimensions of the hole will depend on several factors, like the size of your column, how much weight it will support, and the kind of ground you're building on. If you're not sure, do some research online or consult with a professional mason.  As a rule of thumb, the hole should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep. Make sure the hole is at least 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than your column will be so you have enough room to build the footing. Verify that the bottom of the hole you dug is level before you proceed. If it's not level, your brick column won't be either, so you'll want to level it first. Cut a wooden plank or stud into 4 pieces—1 piece for each side of the frame—and nail them together to make a square frame. Then, place the frame in the hole you dug so it's laying flat on the bottom of the hole. Since you'll be using the empty inside of the frame to make your footing, make sure the frame is 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than your column will be when measured from the inside edges of the wood and not the outside edges. For example, if you want to build a concrete column that's 24 by 24 inches (61 cm × 61 cm), you'd want to make a frame that's 28 by 28 inches (71 cm × 71 cm) when measured from the inside edges of the frame. and let it dry completely. Once you've poured the concrete, take a piece of wood and drag it across the surface of the frame to scrape off any excess concrete and smooth out the surface so it's level for your column. Then, wait for the concrete to dry.  How long it takes for the concrete to dry will depend on the type of concrete you use. Some concrete can take weeks to fully cure, while others are designed to dry in a few hours. If you want to speed up your project, try using a fast-setting concrete mix so you can pour the concrete and start working on your column all on...

TL;DR in English: Dig a square, level hole where you want your brick column to go. Make a frame that's 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than the column will be. Fill the frame with concrete Remove the wooden frame and dry-lay the first course of bricks you'll be using. Trace the outer and inner edges of the course, then remove the bricks.

Casually proposing that the two of you do something together can remove some of the anxiety and worry you may feel about asking her outright about her feelings for you. For example, you can ask her what she is doing tonight or this weekend. If her plans are open or not fixed, you can share what you would like to do and ask her if she wants to go to along with you.  If she says she’s busy, it could mean she’s not interested but it could also mean she’s actually just busy. Ask her if there are any other days that she would be free to do something and see what she says. For example, you can ask: What are you doing this weekend?” If she says “Nothing” or “I was thinking of seeing a movie,” then you can say “I was planning on going to the movies, want to go together?” If a girl is texting you about a restaurant she really wants to try, a test she is worried about, a movie she would like to see, or some school event like a party or dance, she may want you to ask her about it. Follow-up on her conversation with a subtle invitation to do the things she is interested in, with you.  For example, if she has been talking about trying a new pizza place nearby, tell her you have also been wanting to try it and suggest that you go together. If there is a school event coming up that she has been texting you about, tell her you have been looking forward to it and see if she wants to go with you. Maybe she’s been texting with you about an upcoming exam in a class you both share. This is a great opportunity for you to suggest getting together to study for it. If all else fails and you still aren’t sure how a girl feels about you, you can always just ask her directly. If she is really into you, it’s unlikely she will say “no” if you ask her about it. Depending on how bold or certain of yourself you are feeling, you can let her know you like her first, and then ask her if she feels the same.   By making the first move, you are taking the pressure off, which she might appreciate, especially if she is shy. Be prepared for her to...

Pay attention. Take notes Ask questions. Participate. Avoid distractions in the classroom. Develop positive relationships with your teachers. Sit near the teacher if you can. Take advantage of extra credit!

An inventory test will determine how well they can already spell. You might show them pictures and ask them to spell the word. You can also do a multiple choice test, in which they must select the correctly spelled word from a list of misspellings.  Do not grade this test for points. This test is simply to see where the student is currently. You should make sure to test the learner every week or two to see how much they have learned and which concepts they are still struggling with. If the student is struggling with a particular concept, make sure to focus on those areas. Create new lists of words that tackle this unique problem. Continue to work on these concepts until the student has mastered what they were struggling with.   Include words that you know your student can achieve so the list is achievable. For example, if your student can't figure out when to use “gh,” make a list of words that includes “through,” “night, “borough,” and “brought.” Have them memorize these words if they don't understand the rules. If you have multiple students, try to create a unique list for each of them. For large classes, break the students up into groups based on their level of spelling. Make a list for each group. There are many irregular rules of spelling in the English language. While word study and phonics can help, students may need to memorize trickier words. Show the student multiple ways of studying these strange words.  Flashcards are a great tool. On one side, put a picture of the word, and on the other, spell it out. Show the student the picture, and ask them to spell the word. Review words you've already learned for a few minutes everyday.  Reading simple picture books can help students recognize words and letters. Ask students to match the words with the picture. This will help them associate the letters of the word with the meaning. Some students may require more assistance than others. In addition, some people may have disadvantages when it comes to learning spelling. Be patient and sensitive with their...

TL;DR in English: Give the student a spelling inventory test. Make a unique spelling list based on the student's need. Demonstrate how to study spelling. Provide extra assistance for students with learning difficulties.

Low-waisted flares, also known as hipster jeans, feature an extremely low waist that starts just above the pubic bone and button or zip several inches below the navel. Hipster flares were a very popular look in the early 2000s. Flared jeans are definitely making a comeback, but not the low-waisted hipster versions, which can look dated. Go for high-waisted flares that sit above the hips and button above the navel.  Look for flares that have clean lines and fit comfortably around your waist. As a bonus, high-waisted flares can elongate your legs. If your legs are on the shorter side, try this look to add a little length. Long flares used to be fashionable, but the new silhouettes are cropped or hit just above the ankle. If you’re unable to find a pair with the length you want, hem them yourself or have them tailored for you. Avoid the super-long flares that “puddle” on the floor.  Avoid buying flares that overwhelm your legs. You want them to be fitted at the knee and then gently flare out. A few designers have created lines of “petite” fitting flares, which feature a much-shortened bottom hem and a re-working of the classic shape to flatter small frames. Allison Izu is one such designer. When flares were first popularized in the 1960s, embellishments like patches, jewels, eye-catching stitching and frayed hems were popular, and they came in every wash under the sun. The flares being reintroduced into fashion today are no-frills – they aren’t overly “retro” and have little to no embellishment. The favored washes are “clean,” which means there’s no fading or distress on the material and the shade of denim appears uniform.  Look for flares with clean washes in classic true-blue and dark indigo. If you prefer lighter washes, just make sure the color is uniform. For example, icy “rinsed-out” looking hues are popular right now. While denim is probably the most popular material for flared pants, they are certainly not the only choice. Trouser flares are essentially dress pants made with fluid materials and a very...

TL;DR in English: Opt for high-waisted flares. Go for cropped or ankle-length flares. Stick to clean washes with minimal embellishment. Invest in a pair of trouser flares.

If you want to be a successful student, then paying attention in class is absolutely crucial to your success. While you don’t have to love every single subject that comes your way, you should be motivated enough to listen to your teachers, to avoid texting your friends, and to be focused enough to really hear what your teacher is telling you, and to be able to pick up on the most important aspects of each lesson.  In order to pay attention, it’s important to keep your eye on the teacher. If you’re confused about something, you can quickly ask for clarification. If the lesson goes on and you feel yourself getting more and more lost, it’ll be hard to pay attention. . Taking notes is also crucial to your success as a student. Not only will taking notes help you study later, but doing so will also keep you engaged in the classroom, and will help you learn the material because you’ll have to jot it down in your own words. Some people even use different highlighters or pens to organize their notes as they take them to really help them absorb the material. Taking notes will make you feel more accountable in the classroom and will help you listen to your teachers. If you really want to succeed in the classroom, then it’s important that you ask your teachers questions, when it’s appropriate, in order to get a stronger understanding of the material. You shouldn’t interrupt the lessons, but you should ask questions if you really have them in order to avoid being confused and to prepare for your exams. Asking questions will also keep you active in the discussion and will help you learn the material, too. At the end of each class, you can also review your notes and prepare questions to ask the next time if anything is unclear. Some teachers want you to wait until the end of the lecture to ask questions. If this is the case with your teacher, be respectful of that. If you want to succeed as a student, then it’s important for you to participate in class. You should not only ask questions when you have them, but you should...
